A '''conservative''' is one who adheres to principles of limited government, personal responsibility and moral virtue. He or she agrees with the statement in George Washington's [[Farewell Address]] that "religion and morality are indispensable supports" to political prosperity.<ref>http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/democrac/49.htm</ref> Conservatism arose in the 19th century as a response to [[liberalism]], particularly as manifested in the [[French Revolution]].

In the United States, conservatives are generally characterized by the following beliefs:

* National defense and high military spending
* Return of prayer in school
* Stronger protection of 2nd Amendment rights (weaker gun control laws)
* Economic allocative efficiency (as opposed to popular equity)
* Stronger law enforcement and anti-crime laws, including the death penalty
* Prevention of teaching sexual education in public schools
* Abandonment of public schools in favor of private, particularly using tuition vouchers
* Private medical care and retirement plans
* Strong, unilateral foreign policy
* Weakening or cancellation of failed social support programs
* Government restrictions on same-sex marriage and abortion

Many conservatives hold a strong [[libertarian]] conviction in the belief that the state should not interfere with the [[economy]], [[gun control]], and the redistribution of wealth.

About every 20-60 years, a conservative has been elected president of the United States. Examples include:

 [[George Washington]]
 [[James Monroe]]
 [[James Polk]]
 [[Abraham Lincoln]]
 [[Grover Cleveland]]
 [[William Hoard Taft]]
 [[Warren G. Harding]]
 [[Ronald Reagan]]
 [[George W. Bush]]

In America, most conservatives tend to align with the [[Republican Party]] or the [[Libertarian Party]].

In the United Kingdom the present parlimentary opposition party is called the Conservative party [http://www.conservatives.com]and as it's name suggests hold traditional conservative views. It's current leader is David Cameron. David Cameron holds many [[environmentalist]] views and has been voted one of the 100 sexiest men [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4671052.stm].
